However, the deactivated catalysts were difficult to be regenerated by extraction with hot benzene. Additionally, coke-burning was also proved to be incapable to regenerate the deactivated catalysts mainly for the dealumination during calcination. Further characterizations complementary with DFT calculations were conducted to demonstrate that the deactivation was mainly due to the firm adsorption of oxides on the acid sites.展开更多

Herein, hierarchical TS-1(MFI) zeolite with an extra-large external surface area(210 m2/g) and highly active octahedral- coordinated Ti species was prepared via organic base-assisted sequential post-treatment. Such a catalyst afforded a high turnover number value(TON, 114) in 1-octene epoxidation reaction, which was over twice than that(53) of the untreated conventional microporous TS-1 parent. According to the detailed characterization results, we revealed the hierarchical porosity construction effect of tetrapropylamonium hydroxide(TPAOH) treatment(first step) and the octahedral-coordinated Ti species fabrication effect of ethylamine(EA) treatment(second step) under hydrothermal condition. Such a facile post-treatment strategy reported in this work may provide guidance for the rational synthesis of TS-1 zeolite with enhanced catalytic activity.展开更多

Study results have revealed that the cyclohexane conversion was 27%after the reaction proceeded at 100℃ for 2 hours at a cyclohexane/H_2O_2 molar ratio of 0.8. Thecyclohexanol/cyclohexanone molar ratio was 1.3 along with a certain amount of organic acids andesters, the formation of which was closely associated with the oxidation of reaction solvent anddeep oxidation of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol contained in the reaction products. With respect tothe catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane/H_2O_2 system the selection of appropriate solvent wascritically important.展开更多
